VEHICULAR DOOR HANDLE DEVICE
A vehicular door handle device includes: a main body portion being disposed on an outside surface of a door panel of a vehicle, extending in a predetermined direction, and including a hollow portion in an intermediate portion in the extending direction; a touch sensor being housed in the hollow portion for detecting a change in capacitance, and being connected to a control device that controls an opening mechanism for setting a closed vehicular door in an openable state; a frame portion including a shaft portion that extends in the predetermined direction and rotatably supports the main body portion; and a fixing mechanism for fixing the main body portion to the frame portion. Fixing of the main body portion to the frame portion by the fixing mechanism is temporarily released, and the opening mechanism is configured to be driven by rotating the main body portion.
Retractable handle arrangement
A handle arrangement for a vehicle comprising: a handle moveable between a slowed position and a deployed position; a drive mechanism for controlling the handle position; a sensor for detecting a force applied to the handle when in the deployed position, which force is directed so as to urge the handle into the stowed position; wherein upon detecting the force the handle arrangement is arranged to move the handle from the deployed position to the stowed position.

Lever connection body, rod holder, and handle apparatus for vehicle
A lever connection body includes a first lever; and a second lever rotating about a rotation center which is different from a rotation center of the first lever. A sliding long hole opened in the first lever and the second lever spaced apart with respect to the sliding long hole, are connected to each other via a rod. A rod holder including an inserting projection portion inserted into the sliding long hole of the first lever is mounted on an end portion of the rod which is a side of the first lever. A rectangular stopper is provided in a distal end portion of the inserting projection portion of the rod holder, the stopper has a short side length to be inserted into the sliding long hole and a long side portion locked to the sliding long hole to regulate withdrawn from the sliding long hole.

MOTOR VEHICLE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
A motor vehicle handle assembly includes a rotatably mounted handle holder which has a first longitudinal end that can be mounted at a door or a hatch of a motor vehicle, and a handle element operable by a user. A second longitudinal end of the handle holder is configured to have at least one plug-in receptacle. The handle element has at least one fastening stud projecting from it. The at least one fastening stud of the handle element is disposed in the at least one plug-in receptacle in a plugged-in manner. A connecting element extends transversely to the insertion direction of the at least one fastening stud disposed in the handle holder in a plugged-in manner and through a passage opening of the at least one fastening stud. The at least one connecting element releasably and positively connects the handle holder and the handle element with each other.

VEHICLE DOOR DEVICE
A vehicle door device includes: a latch mechanism configured to be switchable between a latch state and an unlatch state; a door handle configured to be movable between a first position and a second position; a door handle projecting mechanism configured to move the door handle from the first position to the second position when a press portion provided on an outer surface of the door handle or in a peripheral portion of the outer surface of the door handle is pressed; and an electrical unlatch operation mechanism including a switch and an electric actuator, the switch being operated by the door handle or the door handle projecting mechanism when the press portion is pressed, and the electric actuator being configured so that, when the switch is operated, the electric actuator is operated to switch the latch mechanism from a latch state to an unlatch state.
TRIM CUP FORMING A MOTOR-VEHICLE HANDLE RECESS
A trim cup of a latch or access of a door, hatchback, or a fuel cap cover of a motor vehicle forming a handle recess has a manually pivotable cover flap hinged on the outside of the trim cup and connected to a latch for the purpose of opening the door, hatchback, or fuel cap cover. The trim cup and/or the outer edge of the trim cup is provided with reinforcement in the form of a composite material of thermoplastic polypropylene or polyester with at least one textile reinforcing layer with strips, fibers, or yarns of polypropylene, polyester, metal, carbon, or an aramid.
LATCH MECHANISM
A latch mechanism for releasably securing a hinged gate to one or more latches. The latch mechanism includes a handle that is pivotally connected to a gate wall. The handle includes at least one retention arm that lockingly engages a latch when the hinged gate is in a latched position. According to certain embodiments, the handle includes a retention arm at both ends of the handle, with the handle extending generally along the length of the gate wall. Further, the handle may be pivotally displaced about the retention arm(s) so that the handle is displaced from the first position to a second position. As the handle is pivotally displaced to the second position, a release mechanism of the handle may engage and pivotally displace the adjacent latch so that the retention arm may be released from the locking engagement with the latch.
